Anne Shirley episode 11 brief recap

Titled I'd Like To Add Some Beauty To Life, the episode began with an update: it had been three months since Matthew's passing, but with help from the people at Green Gables, Anne and Marilla were continuing life. Anne was to soon teach at Avonlea, meeting her friends on weekends and often visiting Matthew's grave.

The next day, Anne began her role as a teacher at Avonlea. Her first day was tough, to say the least. However, there seemed to be a bright spark in little Paul Irving, the son of Stephen Irving. Moving on, along with individuals like Gilbert Blythe, Diana Barry, and others, the Village Improvement Society was born.

But as the members stated, the villagers were skeptical of it. They didn't realise that the society sought to improve the village, not the people in it. Anyhow, they needed to clear the air and formed groups to do so. Anne, with Diana, opted to canvass the Newbridge Road area. The first house was Catherine's.

Hopeful, they pitched the plan for improving the Community Hall, but they were met with resistance and harsh words from Catherine's partner, Eliza. However, they did receive some help from Catherine as they left. They continued going from house to house, collecting whatever donations they could.

They did manage to gather enough to kickstart the project. The episode ended by glimpsing Anne and Gilbert's dynamic. Anne was going to do her best as a teacher at Avonlea, while Gilbert wanted to become a doctor and fight disease and pain. Simply put, they were getting on well and likely, a budding romance.

Previews of Anne Shirley episode 12 show that the episode will introduce two new characters. They will come in the form of two likely orphans whom Anne and Marilla adopt.

Thus, the ladies' lives will receive a different glow with these two new little additions, but they will be mischievous and give Anne a bit of a time. However, it will all be in good stead, and considering Anne Shirley's manner of dealing with situations, she will find a solution.
